My left hand twills stretched like crazy- almost regretting the 31 wg even though a 30 is too tight and low (in grey selvedge at least). My skinny guy deep indigos have very little stretch. The waist is ok but the thigh needs at more room- hence the switch to weird guys. I can't seem to find a happy medium like I did with my nudies.

really? how long did it take before you got the stretching?

Bazhad's pair looked fabulous indeed. If youre going for sole purpose of fade, go with indigo/indigo coming 12 ss season

deep indigo probably

A lot of people say this but as someone who has worn a pair for 6 months and seen other people's pairs...the Deep Indigos don't fade at all like people think. They fade very subtly and unless you are walking all over the city every day, you won't be getting high contrast fades.

If you want really serious fades I would probably look at another brand or maybe look at the natural indigo instead. Those seem to be one of the only N&F that fades pretty well.

Ugh my wgs feel waaaaaay too big now after only a week. This is really frustrating- can a tailor take them in or something? What options do I have besides buying a new pair.

Are they too big in the waist or too big somewhere else?

These stretch massively over the first 2 or 3 months. I'm about 5'8. 135lbs. I got my first pair of weird guys in size 28. They were impossible to button and uncomfortably tight in the thighs when I got em. Now they are almost baggy. I can't stress enough for people to size down 2 on these unless you want a real baggy fit.

Since sizing seems to be so critical on Weird Guys, can I ask for a comparison I haven't seen in the pages I looked through? If I wear a 31 in APC Rescues and that's stretched out enough that I can't wear them without a belt, are 31s safe for WGs?

Does anyone have the GREY SELVEDGE weird guys? How is the stretching on that? 32 seemed like a great fit when I tried on but you guys are recommending I go with 31. 31 did fit but they were a bit tight. Are your recommendations based on having that skin tight look?

I've had a 32 deep indigo skinny guys for a year now and I don't notice any stretch on them. Are those supposed to stretch out a lot too according to you guys? Because for me they didnt.

Hey guys,
Just received my Nep Selvage weird guys from Gilt and love them. Size 31. Only problem is that I have no problems at all buttoning up the top button. They fit well when worn (I don't need a belt) but I'm worried about them stretching way too much after some wear. Should I sell?
